Pickleball Positive Communities
is a Smash Hit!
We are bringing Pickleball Positive to underserved communities
“Thank you, Pickleball Positive Communities! This is a sport our kids really need. Everyone can get involved and be successful. You don’t have to be the top athlete—pickleball keeps our kids moving, and that’s what we need.” - Barbara Palmer, PE/Health Teacher at MS 302.
Our Impact
Our Pickleball Positive approach promotes holistic wellness - social, emotional, mental, and physical. The integration of the A to Z Behaviors for Success builds confidence, connection, and essential life skills.

Our surveys show that students in our program are:
Building confidence, even becoming "super confident" in trying new things.
​​
​
Becoming more mindful of how positive behaviors shape both their game and their daily lives.
Forming deeper relationships with their peers.
​
Calling our program ‘super fun’.
​
Quickly elevating their pickleball skills.
“It’s amazing to see these students embrace the game so quickly. More importantly, they’re gaining confidence, having fun, building relationships, and developing mindfulness around behaviors that will benefit them in their future endeavors.” - Betty Ng, PPC President.
What’s Next?
Building upon PPC’s success at MS 302 in the South Bronx, we are launching our next program
in the Lower East Side at PS/MS 126 at the end of April. This marks the next step in the organization's broader vision to expand program offerings across New York and, ultimately, nationwide—ensuring that more communities have access to the benefits of pickleball
and the life skills it fosters.
But we can't do it alone...
Why You Matter?
We’re looking for volunteers, partners, and supporters to help us expand our reach and bring this opportunity to even more communities.
Join us in making a difference—one community, one game, one connection, one student at a time.
